Microphones comes in two types, those that require power to operate and those that do not. Powered microphones can be powered in one of two ways, either by a battery (internal AA or AAA) or using +48v, which is supplied down the audio cable by the camera or mixer.

Please use the handy symbols on the images below which show if a microphone offeres battery or +48v power (or both). Most professional cameras and audio recorders offer +48v power - however some do not and these will require a battery powered solution. For more information please feel free to ask.
